Incase you forgot; The
Masai Mara National Reserve, an extension of the
Serengeti National park of Tanzania, is one of
the few places where you can actually encounter
a haven for viewing a congregation of all sorts
of animals in a five mile radius. The wildebeest
migration starts from the Serengeti crossing the
Mara river into this reserve. |

no one ever comes across this kind of

something bad befalls their families.

You'd be excused if you thought these two are
fighting! Just exchanging boisterous greetings! |
At that time, Tsavo was dry and perched; so the herds congregate at the water hole

when they had drunk to their fill they headed home! |
